Jonah Goldberg in villanelle form

Relocated from a comment thread at unfogged because I'm vain like that. Background here, here, and here (oh, and here for a different bit), with many more embarrassing excerpts from the book that I hadn't yet seen also available at Sadly, No (eg).

These liberals are all fascists through and through.
Organic food, health care, the smoking ban?
What they don't tell you is that Hitler did it too.

They'll barricade the church and overturn each pew,
Atheistic unbelievers to a man.
These liberals are all fascists through and through.

They'll teach your kids what Darwin said is true:
But unnatural selection's their real plan.
What they don't tell you is that Hitler did it too.

They'll cant sensitivity to those with another view,
And turn around and then oppress the Klan.
These liberals are all fascists through and through.

They'll say animals are with human rights imbued,
And try to keep your steak from out your pan.
What they don't tell you is that Hitler did it too.

It's time we gave these little Eichmanns what is due,
Then maybe go to war, just to prove we can.
These liberals are all fascists through and through.
What they don't tell you is that Hitler did it too.

Comments

One has a lot of time to divert oneself when stuck in traffic in LA. True fact: I believe the below contains nearly every word rhyming with "Verbot" I could think of (the only exceptions that come to mind at the moment are other words formed from "bieten"). This accounts for that crap about bread.
